No it isn't. It is stupid nonsense. Actually, it is a lie. You being lied
to.
Hogbin is a liar.

LOL!
"You are shorter than me."
"No, I'm taller than you!"
"Are to!"
"Not!"
"My dad is bigger than your dad!"
"My dad can beat up your dad!"
"Can't!"
"Can to!"
and so on.
Jeez, the whole world is in constant relative motion, and the only thing
that
has shrunk is the dried out sponge that Hogbin uses for a brain.

| Now I guess I need to be sure of what your saying.

He's saying your computer screen is smaller than his because it's in
constant relative motion to his, and anyway his dad is bigger than your dad.
Just go out and buy a bigger monitor and prove he's wrong.

The idiot thinks his elevator stretches when pulled upwards and yours
doesn't. Also his ruler gets stretched so that he can MEASURE you as
shorter, or so he claims.

See, he said "measured" again. He thinks his ruler must have stretched.

He's got an irresolvable paradox anyway. What's the difference?

Well, you see, some people come out of the theatre believing the woman
was sawn in half and then rejoined. Hogbin is one of them. Other's enjoy the
show but know it was just an illusion.

|

|
| Why would it NOT happen as I see it?

Oh, you want to see a miniature woman sawn in half as well, huh?

|
| It is not totally reasonable to expect that the electrons will seek a

|
|
| Or another thought, is it possible that a nucleus can be moved forward

| negative charges from all electrons it passes as it travels, as needed

|
|

| must travel around the nucleus. Why is that not necessary? Why
| would the atom not become smaller?
|

|
| Suppose we here on earth have 'normal' sized atoms. A ship speeding

| space in their direction and we see it passing them and matching the
| speed of their own headlight beaming out ahead of them. Except that
| theirs is probably shifted cause they're compressing it doppler wise?
|
| As they accelerate, their time slows, they think they're traveling
| faster than they are. We see them speeding up to say a tenth the
| speed of light. Their instruments tell them they are doing 90
| percent of the speed of light. Of course the numbers here are for
| example only.
|

| would have to move in the direction of travel a distance equal to its

| travel, not revolving in orbit at all, and time stops then, for them.

|
| While atoms may be able to compensate for speed for a while, by

Ah, you didn't take math.. shame. The fun part is figuring out how the trick
is done. Since it is done with math, you need math to figure it out. But
I'll give you the solution anyway. You may someday be able to understand it.
Hogbin won't, he'll ignore it.
              The Seven Deadly Sins of Special Relativity.

For quotations following, reference:
 http://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/
 ("On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" by Albert Einstein)

1) "light is always propagated in empty space with a definite velocity c
which is independent of the state of motion of the emitting body",
a totally unproven assumption without any evidence to support it.

2) "In agreement with experience we further assume the quantity
2AB/(t'A-tA) = c to be a universal constant- the velocity of light in empty
space.",
an admitted assumption that is quite worthless when there is any
relative motion between A and B, yet essential to the derivation of the
remainder of Einstein's nonsense.

3) The equation
½[tau(0,0,0,t)+tau(0,0,0,t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v)) ,
the ½ of which is derived from 2) above and is tantamount to saying
(1/3 + 2/3)/2 = 1/3.

4) The missing 0' from that equation, since x' = x-vt, hence 0' = 0-vt,
and the equation should be
½[tau(-vt,0,0,t)+tau(-vt,0,0,t+x'/(c-v)+x'/(c+v))] = tau(x',0,0,t+x'/(c-v))
at the very least.

5) The further assumption "IF we place x' = x-vt ... " without considering
IF we place x' = x+vt, from which we derive (using Einstein's method)
  tau = (t+xv/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
  xi = (x + vt)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)" -Paul B. Andersen

6) The statements
 "But the ray moves relatively to the initial point of k,
when measured in the stationary system, with the velocity c-v..."
and
"It follows, further, that the velocity of light c cannot be altered by
composition with a velocity less than that of light. For this case we obtain
V = (c+w)/(1+w/c) = c."
which are contradictory, the first being Galilean, the second being
contrary to the vector addition of velocities, an axiom of a vector space.

7) The lack of a check to verify the theory is self-consistent by feeding
the new PoR given in 6) into the equation given in 3) and finding a total
failure.
Check:
(t1-t)/(t2-t)*[tau(-vt,0,0,t)+tau(-vt,0,0,t+x'/V+x'/V)] = tau(x',0,0,t+x'/V)
